Lots of them are great -- I guess I don't think that way.
How boring to live in a world of absolutes!

Led Zeppelin and their 'IV' is a true classic.
Take 'Stairway to Heaven', it's ingenious and unforgettable chord progression with the most famous guitar solo of all time.
'Battle of Evermore' - the mandolin masterpiece 
The rest of the stuff on the list is either trash or it just goes by me.

Would have been much easier if you included Quadrophenia by The Who, or Their Satanic Majesties Request by Rolling Stones, because I would have voted blindly for any of those, but honestly, none of this albums is so, so strong IMO.
Lets see:
- Wacko Jacko and the Punks are out of contest IMO
- Hendrix is not my cup of tea (Even when he was a great guitar player)
- I believe Sgt Peppers is highly overrated (Abbey Road could get my vote)
- Don't care for any Stones album except the one menioned previously
- Dylan and Beach Boys maybe........
- Maiden (Give me Seventh Son of a Seventh Son)
- AC/DC: Better with Bon Scott
So it's Tommy, closely followed by Joshua's Tree, Machine Head and Zep IV.

The Number of the Beast, by far. Then Machine Head and Are You Experienced.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Totally agree PG is the best album ever made in my opinion. So much
variety all played to perfection. Rock folk blues funk and even some
Prog- Kashmir and In the Light esp. |
Yup, me too, I would have gone for Physical Grafitti if it was a choice...

I admit that this one doesn't look a classic album :
Errm...  ...
But you know what? It's one of the best records ever made!

Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The list is excellent but I'd add one Byrds' album like Mr. Tambourine Man or Fifith Dimension.

I agree with you!! I'm a big Zep fan but if I never get to hear "Stairway to Heaven" again, it won't be too soon.
I also picked the Beatles, but U2's Joshua Tree wasn't far behind, and
though I don't expect there'll be (m)any votes, Michael Jackson's
Thriller is a really good album
